BGM: Diamond Lounge @ Brussels Airport (Schengen Area)

Image
Thumbs up only for the cream soup in a lion head bowl~ At last, we'd be heading to our last holiday destination: Helsinki, Finland. We weren't hungry while waiting for our flight that'd depart at 7.20pm from Brussels Airport. However, scared that our stomachs would grumble later before going to bed, we decided to use our Priority Pass membership to check out Diamond Lounge at the Schengen Area.

BGM: Brasserie de la Ville

Image
Any difference between Belgian and French onion soup? Situated near the bustling Grand Place is Brasserie de la Ville, a rather quiet, unassuming restaurant serving local cuisine that may not stand out compared to some others in the area. My BFF and I decided to head to the restaurant after reading many good reviews online.

BGM: Le Bistro

Image
Virgin experience with rabbit meat stewed with beer! Located within a stone's throw away from Porte De Hal, a medieval fortified city gate of Brussels, Belgium, is a popular restaurant that goes by a nondescript name of Le Bistro. Upon hearing where my BFF and I came from, one of the servers told us that the restaurant receives many people from Singapore every year.

BGM: Friterie Tabora

Image
'Andalouse' and 'Samourai' have nothing to do with Andalusia and Japan! :P For the uninitiated, the origin of the so-called French fries has been traced back to Belgium, not France. Considering a few famous fries shops in Brussels, my BFF and I decided to patronise Friteria Tabora that's located near the central square called Grand Place.

BGM: Maison Dandoy

Image
"Spectaculoos speculoos" and waffle! Don't leave Belgium without indulging in its waffles. That's what everyone says, right? Apart from those that my BFF and I got from small kiosks as we were wandering about Brussels, we also tried one at Maison Dandoy that has been around since 1829, operating a total of ten branches at the point of writing.

BGM: Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel [Breakfast]

Image
Two chocolate danish a day wouldn't harm! I recall having a bit of a hard time trying to decide on which value-for-money hotel to go for in the old town area of Brussels, Belgium. My BFF and I ended up in Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel (3*), which offers a splendid view of the town from its breakfast area on the topmost floor.

BGM: Chez Leon

Serving mussels all the way since 1893! Here's another city to add to the list: Brussels, Belgium! As we hadn't had a proper lunch earlier, we decided to have an early dinner at Chez Leon, a well-known restaurant that has stood the test of time near Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel where we were staying at.

SIN: Singapore Airlines SQ392 (Premium Economy)

Image
Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

JPN: Ekiben Tabi Bento (駅弁 旅弁当)

Image
Not a single visit to Japan without 'ekiben'! A portmanteau of eki (lit. station) and bento (Japanese meal box), ekiben  has long been an icon of Japanese culinary culture. I know the meal boxes are served at room temperature, but I'm always drawn to them, thanks in part to their exquisite presentation. My family bought some from Ekiben Tabi Bento situated within Kyoto station to savour them for lunch, not inside a train, but in the comfort of our hotel room.

How about indulging in some tea-infused menu onboard? Let's start our trip to the Americas with an exploration of the in-flight food and beverages onboard EVA Air BR226 from Singapore to Taipei, Taiwan. Photos in the coming posts remain in a square format because, as mentioned earlier, I lost most of my photos and the only ones I've got left are those I've shared on my Instagram.
